Wednesday 28th May, (Richmond).
We broke our tradition of short trips only again today as we travelled from Cloncurry to Richmond, 377k. We had intended to stay at Julia Creek, only 130k, but when we arrived there we decided that as we were only having an overnight stay that it might as well be at a […]
Monday 26th May, (Cloncurry).
Well it has happened again; Almost a full week has passed since putting down any words. This could be because we are now camped at a rather laid back town, relaxing again and enjoying the little amount to do. This town is Cloncurry, we moved here on Friday and have decided to […]
Tuesday 20th May, (Mount Isa).
Lake Moondarra was the item on the agenda for today. This is a man made lake 15k or so north of Isa and was built for recreational purposes for the local community and for the city’s main water supply. It turned out to be an ideal resting area, being so peaceful […]
Monday 19th May, (Mount Isa).
Mount Isa; We came here with the idea that we have gotten from other travellers that one will either love or hate the place. Even though we are enjoying our time here, I for one can’t really work out the city. It has a feel different to any other that we […]
Sunday 18th May, (Mount Isa).
We have now had a couple of days in Isa (Mount Isa) relaxing. It does make it a little hard to relax properly though when the temperatures reach the 30’s during the day and get down to about 7 or 8 during the nights, a bit much of a variation.
We had […]

Friday 16th May, (Mount Isa).
We spent last evening at Camooweal; we booked into the caravan park behind the local pub thinking it was no different than the other. It turned out that we were the only ones in the park for the night. It seems the signage for this park […]
Thursday 15th May, (Camooweal).
Camooweal is our present place of abode, moving on from Tennant Creek on Tuesday and taking two days to get here. We camped at a rest area last night about half way across just east of Barkley Homestead. This was a very enjoyable stay as it was quite warm, quiet apart from […]
Tuesday 13th May, (Tennant Creek).
We have now formed the opinion that Tennant Creek is basically only worthy of a stopover. This is only our opinion and we appreciate that others may have a completely different one.
A visit to the Pebbles today was rather disappointing as they were not quite as we expected. At the Marbles […]
Monday 12th May, (Devils Marbles/Tennant Creek).We had a look at the map on our last night at Wycliffe to see how far it was to Devils Marbles, a reserve just north, knowing it wasn’t far, but it turned out to be only 30k. We should have had a closer look before stopping at Wycliffe and […]
Thursday 8th May, (Wycliffe).
Wycliffe Caravan Park is one of a difference; it has a total theme of UFO’s and aliens with murals on just about every wall in the park. Somebody must have been very busy over the years with a paintbrush and lots of paint. The murals also feature a lot of the scenery […]
